Abraham BeaverHello, I noticed that you left a nice note for Abraham Beaver, are you related, he is my gggg grandfather, was he a mason, do you know much about him?Any info would be excellent!!Thank you Jamie

Thanks much for your message. I don't believe Joe Ware is in my line. All my Ware descendants came from New Jersey so it appears you are in a different ancestral line than I'm in. I have not yet found where my ancestor Andrew Ware (c. 1710-1765) lived prior to appearing in New Jersey. We know from histories written that he may have come from somewhere in England, but I don't know which boat he came over on, or whether or not his parents came to a New England colony and then he moved to NJ. I don't know.

Wrights in VirginiaThey were in Fauquier County before moving to Ohio. It used to be thought that they were connected to some of George Washington's ancestors, but that was supposedly disproven about ten years ago. So I don't know anything before the 1810 census in Fauquier County of my fourth-great-grandparents and their three oldest children.
